Sony’s headphones come with some neat hardware designed for its own specially implemented spatial audio system. But on PC, that hardware often goes unused. That is, until now. As posted to Reddit by user NSlattery43, you can now use the motion sensors in the likes of the Sony WH-1000XM5, WF-1000XM5, and ULT Wear headphones for…
In 2010, at the launch of Star Trek Online, the spacefaring MMO opened on the Klingon War. In typical fashion, the Federation was desperately trying to sue for peace, while a klingon ambassador was doing everything he could to thwart it. STO has always been a massive theme park full of nods to the classic…
Late last year, Australia implemented a social media ban for those aged under 16, and reports since suggest that things aren’t exactly going as planned. For one, companies reportedly don’t seem to be actually checking some accounts. Reuters spoke to a team of software testers, who report that several companies failed to ask for proof…
Special effects go off like fireworks, my screen a constant blur of colour. Gushes of golden numbers—some of them in the millions—accompany every sword swing and magical burst. AoE patterns light up the floor, warning me about the maelstrom I’ll soon have to dodge my way through. And while all of this is going on…
Understanding matchmaking in Arc Raiders has been something of a white whale for players, especially since we first got confirmation that aggression-based matchmaking did actually play a part in creating lobbies.

New CEO Asha Sharma hit the reset button on Xbox yesterday, taking out 1,600 jobs at once with another 1,600 cuts still to come before the end of the year. Very few studios escaped the scythe: even id Software’s legendary name did not save it, and it quickly became clear the studio had been swept…
XHitman and 007 First Light developer IO Interactive announced last week that it had lost funding for Project Fantasy, an “online fantasy RPG” first announced in 2023, and that as a result, “we have to adapt to this new reality and its short-term consequences, including staffing decisions.” That sure sounded like layoffs were incoming, and…
I think moths are great. Their hardiness, fuzzy little bodies, and the fact that I relate to their obsession with bright lights;I too find them fascinating. Unfortunately, other than the Scalloped Oak and the Puss Moth, I’ve not been able to see many of the 2,500 species of moths recorded to be in the British…
It often seems like there’s no light at the end of the memory crisis tunnel. That’s not just my opinion; it’s what I was told a few months ago by Maingear CEO Wallace Santos. But analysts from Bernstein have forecast something quite positive for DRAM at the end of 2028, as long as you can…
The humble mouse has been through some changes in its time. When it’s not adding extra buttons all over the place it’s twisting your wrist into unlikely positions or looking like whatever the Mad Catz RAT was.
